Gaudian curves but Leary supplied physics — not so much chemistry but architecture: his conviction that a structure built to lean will always outlast one built to resist, that survival belongs to buildings willing to negotiate with the ground rather than argue with it. Here, seven canvases stand in for seven wings of that unbuilt cathedral, each settled at its own private, unrepeatable angle, the way real rooms settle after real tremors — tilted, never toppled, holding their shape on faith both of logic & conviction. El Salvador lends seismic authority; gesso thr plaster-dust memory, vast respect intended.
A shark was spotted in it at Soundline Thorndon — "the Hirst without the formaldehyde," someone called it, and the name stuck. Hirst's tiger shark reportedly sold near $12M; this one is framed, embedded, not waterlogged. That industry comp didn't inform price structure here. I looked & couldn't see a goldfish let alone a shark or Orca whale. It's been on loan to Curry Heaven & Kiwi Art House Gallery too.
